Infrastructure and security services for mid-market businesses on hybrid cloud
Five Rivers IT operates as a managed IT and security services firm for small-to-mid-market companies, built around Microsoft stack (Azure, M365, DevOps) and AWS infrastructure. The hiring split—security and engineering each claiming 7 roles with senior-skewed seniority—reflects a shift toward security-first service delivery. Current projects span vulnerability management, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, ARM templates), and CI/CD automation, while adopting Google's Gemini and Vertex AI suggests expansion into AI-assisted security and analytics.
Five Rivers IT provides managed IT infrastructure, cloud enablement, and security services to mid-market businesses across the United States. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, the company operates across strategic planning, project management, and technical delivery—ranging from datacenter hosting and disaster recovery to compliance and cybersecurity operations. The services span hybrid environments: on-premises (VMware, Hyper-V, Windows/Linux) and cloud (Azure, AWS). Active challenges include scaling vulnerability management across enterprise portfolios, managing complex hybrid infrastructure, and shortening sales cycles in a fast-growth phase.
Primary stack: Microsoft (Azure, M365, Azure DevOps, PowerBI, SQL), VMware/Hyper-V virtualization, AWS, Linux/Windows servers, Terraform and CloudFormation for infrastructure-as-code, Docker for containerization, PowerShell and Bash scripting.
Current projects include vulnerability management roadmap, infrastructure-as-code implementation, CI/CD pipeline deployments, identity governance rollout, secure design blueprints, and automation across Windows and Linux environments. Cloud infrastructure management and device standardization are also active priorities.
